"Pope Francis,AD 2O13/Homage to Francis Bacon and his series of screaming popes/" Painting

Alexandre Vassilev-Vasilevsa is a Bulgarian born artist,based in London,UK.During his stay in New York City in the late 90`s, he was much influenced and inspired by The American Abstract Expressionism and artists such as Hans Hoffman,.That is when he began his journey in the world of art and his pursuit of spiritual comfort,challenging the popular notions of art in effort to bring a motion in subconscious. Vasilevsa had explored a variety of directions and themes over the years and had invented and developed a very recognizable, mosaic-like style and technique of his own. In his paintings the viewer can definitely see the signature of one artist. Considered by many as both-figurative and abstract painter,his latest works are all about action painting, individual freedom, movement, emotions and concern for the gloryfication of the act of painting itself as a means of visual communication. The physical act of painting itself, the flow of energy, colour and paint become a dynamic means of expression. Vasilevsa’s Organic Tessellated Abstraction transforms the painted surface into a densely interconnected field of irregular chromatic fragments. Dark linear structures separate and simultaneously connect the individual forms, while impasto and relief-like textures give the works a tactile, almost archaeological character. The resulting compositions exist between painting, mosaic, drawing and low relief, balancing controlled structure with apparent visual chaos. Many of Vasilevsa`s artworks are chosen and listed by the curators of special selections dedicated to Picasso, Abstract and Pop Art for one of the best and largest art platforms in the world -Saatchi Gallery Online. His paintings are sold to collectors in the United Kingdom, Italy, Canada , Belgium, The Netherlands and The United States. He had exhibited in the United States, United Kingdom ,France and in his hometown of Vratca, Bulgaria.
